Beautiful!
 
Sweet!
 
added some fiji aquaculture corals at upper left and middle left aquascape. around 6 colonies. moved down some indo corals. i got 1 RTN the rainbow pink millepora where i got a kH of 12 alk overdose. =( sohal, atlantic blue tang and achilles tang died as well they didnt make it. =( Gem tang becoming bigger and bigger so im happy about it. i guess 7 tangs is enough for me. =)
 
What happened to the tangs?
achiles got bullied by the PBT tang even if i did mirror therapy but still. died withoug eating
atlantic blue tang jumped over the tank ( ds is the 2nd time i had experience with atlantic blue tang. dont know whos chasing him or why he jump. tried to save him but hes very weak and body is dried out alrady
sohal tang a mystery. suddenly became thin and lost apetite then 2 dyas died. im planning to treat my fishes prophylactically. everyone is healthy except PBT with some spots of ich.
 
I put all my fish in Cupramine for 4 to 6 weeks for treatment 3 years ago I never used to medicate I had 12 fish I bought 13 fish in one day that's 25 fish total 8 Days Later only have 3 left 22 died from Gill flukes everyone gets medication for now one I lost $3500 in that one wipe out
